  • Provide technical cooperation and liaison with internal development teams and external partners.
  • Support production and manufacturing departments for antenna performance verification and troubleshooting.
  • Provide field issue support and visit customer sites as necessary.


Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree and 5 years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree and 3 years of relevant experience.
  • Proven experience in RF/Antenna design and development based on product requirements.
  • Deep understanding and hands-on experience in RF/Antenna design, simulation, and measurement techniques.
